A Vacation with a Photographer


My husband and I recently went on vacation to Mexico. I did not bring with my big cameras for I was worried about getting sand in the lenses. So instead, we ordered the new Nikon Coolpix S8000.  For any of you in the market for a point and shoot camera, this one is amazing.

Look at the waves rolling in!


I'm sure my husband got tired of me saying,"Just a second," while I took out my camera and started shooting.  I really like to take scenery pictures while I am on vacation.  My living room is full of blow up pictures from vacations.  It is really neat to be able to personalize our room with pictures of places we have been.

I hope you enjoy these!  We will be traveling to Chicago soon. I hope to capture some pictures there as well.
Tomorrow is Christmas! I hope each one of you get all that you want and more.  Happy Holidays!

It was really windy while we were there!

Beautiful sunset! Our resort was located right next to the ferry dock!

Me making my poor husband pose!



I loved the character that this tree had!




I could look at the sea for hours! Isn't  it relaxing?

I liked the texture that the waves had against the sand.


This picture was taken from a lighthouse. We had to climb 150 steep stairs to get to the top but it was well worth it!

This was half way up the lighthouse. I love the view from the window!

Perhaps I should have taken time to sit in these because they are very fun, but I was too busy taking pictures!

And your probably wondering what this has to do with our vacation!  Well, the snow storm that produced 21 inches of snow  greeting us as we were getting off of the plane!
